I can't agree with your reply #757, where you say that Totalitarian Agriculture produces food the same way as any other form of agriculture. Reading about different types of cultivation, I see that agriculture is a way of cultivating by catastrophe, where people till the soil to emulate the effects of a flood (and this method doesn't tolerate diversity on the landscape) while permaculture/horticulture is cultivation by participating in ecological succession and aiding in building up the soil and fostering diversity in the landscape. • Ishmael.org, the work & philosophy of Daniel Quinn
